About me / Bio:
Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg was a Danish painter who is considered to be the father of Danish painting. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard, who introduced him to the genre of history painting. He also learned the techniques of marine painting and landscape painting. He travelled to Paris and Rome, where he was influenced by the neoclassical style of Jacques-Louis David and the Italian masters. He painted scenes from ancient history, mythology and the Bible, as well as portraits of contemporary figures and views of nature. He was especially admired for his ability to depict the effects of light and atmosphere on clouds and water. He was a professor and director at the Academy, where he taught many of the leading painters of the Danish Golden Age, such as Christen Købke, Martinus Rørbye and Wilhelm Bendz. He died of cholera in 1853 at the age of 70.
